ICA first call for web-based media artworks – deadline 24 October 2007
The ICA is launching a call for submissions of web-based Media artworks to be shown on the ICA website: submissions are currently open until 24 Oct.
To complement our existing Live and Media Arts programme, we are looking for work that is innovative, either in technique or ideas. The work we are looking for doesn’t necessarily have to be ‘interactive’, but it must be work that engages with the user.
Submissions are open to anyone who wants to show a piece of web-based work that they are proud of or that exemplifies their skills as an artist. It should be a relatively recent or new piece of work that hasn’t yet been launched or shown on an institutional or gallery website.
More info can be found on

Jerwood Moving Image Awards – deadline 3 December 2007
Jerwood Charitable Foundation announces first national prize for moving image
http://www.jerwoodmovingimage.org/
The Jerwood Charitable Foundation has today announced details of the Jerwood Moving Image Awards – a major new prize for emerging artists working in digital moving art.
Awards of £10,000 will be made in March to three artists, and submissions are invited from 25 September. Dancer and choreographer Wayne McGregor will chair a panel of judges made up of some of the leading figures in arts and culture, including Marc Boothe, independent producer and founder of B3 Media; John Maeda, Head of MIT’s Media Lab; artist Jane Prophet; journalist, author and historian Sukhdev Sandhu and Jules Wright, Director for the Wapping Project.
Encompassing a wide range of artistic practice, from film, documentary, video and music to dance, installation and drawing, the Jerwood Moving Image Awards welcome work from across many disciplines. The awards will celebrate and support artists in the early stages of their careers, and bring some of today’s most exciting talent in digital art to new audiences, via both the website and next year’s Jerwood Space exhibition.
The judges will undertake a rigorous selection process, awarding work on artistic merit and originality as well as on the quality of production. Entrants are asked to submit work completed in the last two years of 1 to 10 minutes in length; applicants must be UK-based and have graduated from a recognised training institution in the last 10 years, or exhibited publicly within the last 10 years.
Thirty artists will be selected for the shortlist, and these names will be announced on 18 January when the work will posted online to be viewed and to download onto laptops, telephones and MP3 players. There will also be a people’s vote, and from the shortlist stage onwards members of the public can vote for their favourite online.
Eight finalists will be selected in February, with their work exhibited at the Jerwood Space from 20 February – 20 March 2008. The winners will be announced on 4 March.
Roanne Dods, Director of Jerwood Charitable Foundation commented: “This is a hugely exciting initiative for us. We know that there is a huge amount of amazing digital moving image work being created but often within very defined disciplines. We hope that this award will not only celebrate the best of that work and reward talented artists, but also bring the best work to a wider audience”
The Jerwood Moving Images Awards demonstrate the Foundation’s commitment to endorsing new practices in contemporary art, offering funding and support for emerging artists working with new technologies. This was reflected also on 18 September with the announcement of the winners of the Jerwood Drawing Prize, where first prize was awarded to Melanie Jackson for a ‘A Global Positioning System’, a 10 minute digitally generated animation.
Entries must be submitted by 8am on 3 December 2007, and more information can be found at http://www.jerwoodmovingimage.org

Go to http://dziga.perrybard.net/ where there is a scene index and every shot of Vertov’s film is logged, with an intro to the project. The scene index and shot list are there for reference : this doesn’t have to be a copy, it can be a 21st century version inspired by the original. However the timing is important. So, if you choose a scene that’s 46 seconds long it should be in the general area of 46 seconds, the particular shots within that scene are however you
decide to make them.
At time of upload there will be slots for your name, city, country, url if you have one. No titles please on the footage you submit as it will stream as a film. All submissions will be credited and will appear on all publicity.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by Edward Picot.
Review by Marc Garrett.
Edward Picot’s visually playful, web art interpretation of Wallace Stevens’s poem Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird is a curious artwork for many reasons. Once you have visited the work it lingers in the mind and on each return it maintains a strong freshness. So what is it in this work that compels me to re-experience its particularly strange and magical reasoning?
It consciously acknowledges the original spirit of the text, whilst introducing a response that at the same time attempts to deal with what these words may mean today. This interpretation of the poem not only gives us the opportunity to appreciate how special the original work is by following the text, whether in order, or haphazardly, but it also creates a moment in time that opens up a rare experience of two creative minds as a kind of collaboration.

Summerbranch Exhibition at TheSpace4 gallery, UK by Artists igloo.
Review by Rob Myers.
Summerbranch is a hyperreal cross-media woodland environment created by Igloo during a residency at Artsway Gallery in the New Forest during 2005. Installed across the three rooms of TheSpace4 gallery in Peterborough from 14th July – 9th September.
“The use of multiple media to present the virtual scene as a complement to the recording of the real scene creates a hyperreal landscape. The reality of this is altered, but not interrupted, in the VRs by the motion-captured dance of moss-covered dancing female forms if you can find them among the foliage. Layer upon layer of invocation of nature, technology and mystery building up to produce the final effect of the work which consists as much in what is absent as in what is present in it. This experience of the work is hard to put into words, which for a piece of art is a strong sign of its effectiveness.”

_Reality Mapping: Navigating the Social-Nodes_
Article by MEZ (Maryanne Breeze).
Web 2.0 is based on a collusive tapestry of adjoining social nodes. Social Networks such as MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, Orkut, Liveleak, YouTube, Twitter and Pownce aren’t prefaced on pre-set connotative connections maintained through historicized emotional depth or satisfied by biological drives. Friends aren’t friends as we have come to know them: there is no establishment of shared geophysical experiences, no cathartic or chronologically defined friendship markers evident. What’s important is [inter]action and the quantity of it – the residual volume of contact and the fact of shared connection minus a meatbody context. Identity is constructed in these friendship pathways via the idea of notations; of naming labels, of icon attribution, and of clustered info-snippets streamlined through an interface designed for momentary persona snapshots.
